Hey Rich - - good rant but this ageing population will be thinner (well, not literally for big guys like us) in number as time takes its toll. Went to a local meeting a few years ago and the front seats were empty in honor of fallen comrades (my friend Joe Pavlik was one). 'Ol venerable Sheldon, a nice but clueless man, a leader of men in this group of seniors succumbed recently to further thin-out the ranking folks in a dying hobby that begs for progressive leaders that are non-existent.
